The first 2 games last year...

And kicking it into gear by week 10 or 11 won't matter much, when they're 3-8 by that point...

I have to agree with you. No matter how sloppy those first two games were last year, they were still wins. The team still has a really tough schedule ahead of them after Houston and wins are going to be really hard to come by.
Last season was really nice and all, but a lot of things went our way, so we really shouldn't be looking back too much.

Exactly. This team reminds me of the 2001 Chicago Bears. That team had the ball bounce their way several times that season, and ended up going 13-3. In 2002, all the lucky bounces they got in the previous season were going the other way, and the exact same personal went 4-12.

That’s what is happening to this Redskins team. The breaks they got last year, aren’t going their way this year, and they have to rely on talent(that is severely lacking at some positions) and execution that isn’t anywhere close to polished yet.

Good point. We are getting zero breaks so far...

Oh yes, and someone else said the D played better the first 2 games last year which is true... that's something that's definitely disturbing.

The offense on the other hand seems no different than the first 2 games last year... except for the 2 long passes in the Dallas game.
